Mounting something to glass shower wall?

[CZ Eddie]

Hi folks, I need to mount a shelf to my glass shower wall. The wet side of the wall!
There is one screw hole I have access to.
I need a secondary mounting point under that where typically it would be a second screw.
But I don't want to drill.

Is there any waterproof adhesive I can use that will be strong enough to hold a couple pounds?
But will still be removable if I decide to change things up in the future? I don't want permanent.
I just want strong. Not sure what the middle-ground product would be.

3M mounting tape. Not Scotch or Gorilla, I said 3M!

Scotch is close though. ha

Thanks. This one?
It doesn't mention water-resistance?

Lol at this reviewer

Ahh, the spec sheet does mention car molding, so it should be good to go. Thanks!

I should've been more detailed. The stuff with the red backing. And I see 3M is Scotch. This stuff. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Scotch-...ided-Extreme-Mounting-Tape-414DC-SF/203405976 This stuff holds best and comes off with zero residue.

I keep a few rolls in varying widths of the red backed stuff in the shop. Its legit ****-see it all the time in the automotive field. Your shelf isn't going anywhere with that on there.


If you had an open tube of silicone sitting around I would be temped to give that shot.

I'll 2nd 3M.
I know you said you do not want to drill, but It needs to be said that you can NOT drill into a glass shower wall because tempered glass will shatter if you attempt to drill it.

Also be careful what you do with that screw hole that you are planning on using. Pictures would be helpful.

i would go to a "Crafts Store" like Michaels (sp?) or Hobby Lobby; I am sure that someone has already solved this problem.

How about the glue to hold car mirrors to windshields?

Suction cups. Girls do it with toys all the time.

Smooth mounting device to glass cam be done with CA glue and can be undone with acetone.

3M makes a lot of different double sided tapes. The one glaziers use to mount things to glass is VHB. Available on Amazon in small rolls of various widths.

Is the Extreme tape the same as what used to be sold as VHB?

Why not use magnets? Glue a magnet to your shelf and put some steel (enclosed in PlastiDip) on the other side of the glass. Makes it easy to remove both for cleaning.

I have some hooks and a small shelf / organizer that attaches with suction cups

Doesn't have the 30lb strength as the other stuff, but this one is clear. Might be a little more aesthetically pleasing on the glass wall.

Have any of you seen the new clear stuff they are advertising on tv? I haven't used it yet but seems to be very useful. I do have some rubber pads for pistol magazine bases that come w/ something similar. They say they are infinitely reusable.
"... it will stick directly to the magazine pad (and can be reused - remove and wash under HOT water to reactivate adhesion)"
I use them and although I haven't needed to move them I believe they would hold to the glass very well. I think this new tape must be the same or very similar stuff.
